This table provides the results for robustness test using time series adjusted returns. Panel A provides the VAR Granger causality WALD test for the pre-COVID-19 period (March 4, 2019 to March 1, 2020) and Panel B provides VAR Granger causality WALD test for the COVID-19 period (March 2, 2020 to December 4, 2020). First column presenting the dependent variable. *, **, *** denote significance at 10%, 5%, 1% respectively. Two steps are performed. In the first step, time series adjusted returns have been calculated based on the regression equation: ERt=α+β1Mktt+β2Ext-1+β3Volt+β4Dayt+εt where ERt is excess returns (raw returns in excess of the short rate), Mktt is the excess market return (which we proxy using the Jakarta stock exchange price), Ext-1 is the bilateral exchange rate (Rupiah vis-à-vis the US dollar), Vol is the stock market return volatility and Day is the day-of-the-week effect, where Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday dummies are used
